Stretch your drinking dollars in NYC

There’s little doubt that New York City is a great place for a road trip, especially for beer lovers. Many of The Big Apple’s bars and restaurants offer a sophisticated and diverse menu of craft and import brews.

But unless you’re a local, finding the venues that offer reasonable prices in the metropolis can be difficult. That’s why I was happy to find out about the I’m Not At Work card.

For only $25 a year, the card gives you 24/7 access to great discounts and drink specials at participating bars, restaurants and clubs in the NYC area. As an example, its featured venue this week is Rattle ‘N’ Hum, which is offering $5 pints of craft beer and $5 wine and cocktails. This card could pay for itself pretty quickly.

You can order the card and find a searchable list of participating establishments at www.ImNotAtWork.com.

This card would be especially sweet for beer road trippers who are planning to go to NYBrewfest on Saturday, June 19. That way, you can save a few bucks as you continue your exploration for great beer and good times in NYC after the festival wraps up.

Good luck!
